Not only in America

With a nod to Bobo's World, as if to say "you are not alone", from today's Dominion Post:

A Christchurch man bashed his former de facto partner to death in a blind rage over a stolen Nazi flag, a High Court jury was told.[...][Crown Prosector] Mark Zarifeh said Marsh admitted to police he had given his former partner "the bash" because she had taken a Nazi flag that was once in his lounge.[...]At one stage Marsh had got the couple's 12-year-old son to help drag her, unconscious, back inside his flat. Ms Hackell's five-year-old son from another relationship witnessed much of the beating.

What a lovely, lovely man. I'm betting the letter P figures prominently in this story's background.
